A series of family-friendly summer events will kick off on Thursday at The Shops at Highland Village as part of its two-month-long “SUMMER VIBES” series.
The events will be hosted in the newly-redeveloped outdoor space, The Backyard, which is located in the northern courtyard, in front of the AMC Theatres.
An Ice Cream Social Kickoff Event will take place on Thursday from 2-5 p.m. It will feature complementary ice cream for the first 75 guests, courtesy of Ben & Jerry’s, a live DJ, an interactive juggler and outdoor games.
“SUMMER VIBES is more than just an event series; it’s a celebration of community, creativity and the spirit of summer,” said Ravi Wadhwa, senior general manager of The Shops at Highland Village. “We’ve curated a vibrant mix of experiences to ensure this season is both memorable and meaningful for our guests.”
